I think we gotta get people to see past the false dichotomy: part of their increased cost of living is due to climate change: - your home insurance is more expensive b/c fire/hurricane/etc risk is worse in your state - and you probably don't have flood insurance but the risks there are worse too - your electricity bill is worse b/c you're using AC more b/c it's hotter - climate change does have healthcare impacts, including expanded geographic range of a bunch of vector-borne illnesses, as well as acute issues during heat events. Even if you're not directly one of these patients, your health insurance costs will increase in part due to these risks. - replacing key infrastructure which is damaged by extreme weather is expensive - during extreme weather events, your ability to earn may be disrupted - and every business you spend at also has increased costs due to the same factors, which they pass on to you It turns out that multiple generations of emitting without paying attention to the externalities has created literal costs that we _all_ now bear, and these costs will continue to increase.
